Zserver® Storage Data Security

Data Storage Security

In today’s dynamic and competitive business environment, many companies adapt centralized data management architecture techniques to quickly respond to the ever-changing business requirements in the marketplace. This centralization helps effectively lock down a business’ network perimeter by limiting the number of potential inbound security breaches from external threats. However, these measures are ineffective once an unauthorized person gains physical access to unprotected data from inside the security perimeter. The resulting damage to a company’s reputation and cost to the business from an internal violation can seriously jeopardize its continued operations.

Below are some common scenarios where data leakages occur and the best external perimeter protection can not prevent the loss of data:

• Placement of servers in data centers (collocation)

• Sending servers or hard disks for repair

• Transportation of computers from one location to another

• Disposal of hardware, hard disks, tapes and legacy storage media

• Transportation or storage of magnetic backup tapes to an off-site location

• Theft or loss of hard disks, magnetic backup tapes or other storage media

All of these potential business damaging scenarios can be prevented by encrypting data residing on storage devices.
